Online forms are web-based ways to collect information from people. Instead of filling out and submitting a paper form (remember those days?), your customers can use the internet and fill in business form fields electronically. Most websites often use online form creators for visitors to submit inquiries, feedback, job applications, etc. All the data is then sent over the internet, so there is no need to print out a hard copy or worry about physical storage space.

There are also forms that can be used specifically for internal communications. These forms can help your team share and coordinate information between team members and make calculated decisions from the data provided.

While most companies use forms that are directly built into their websites, there are other alternatives to this option. Companies that offer project management solutions, or stand-alone form programs, are great ways to add customized and interactive forms to your business.

No matter what kind of form your business needs today, we have rounded up our top online form creators that will help you narrow down your picks.
